Whales
are mammals and breathe air. They come
to
the surface
to inhale and to
exhale.
This
mom and her baby are exhaling, or breathing out. Every exhale makes
a spout — also called a blow. Big blow, little
blow! The spout is made of water vapor, air, and water droplets. People
who are very close to a whale spout say that whales have stinky breath!
